Tucson

If you’re a native to Tucson, you are already aware of the plethora of holiday events that Old Pueblo hosts each holiday season.

Before we know it, Thanksgiving will have come and gone. Luminaries and Christmas trees will replace cornucopias and autumn colored decorations. In the Tucson vicinity, catch the Christmas spirit at one of the most beautiful settings, the Tucson Botanical Gardens.

For Tucsonans who love luxury golf, the arrival of the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Dove Mountain almost two years ago was a welcome addition to the regions already impressive course repertoire. What’s even more impressive is that the Club’s Nicklaus-designed tracks are continuing to garner accolades, awards and recognition from prominent golf entities.

Burning off those holiday pounds can be a challenge. Tusconans seem to have the right idea, get rid of the pound before the holidays to make room for turkey and stuffing and pie.
